Washington scrambles to meet calls for AI guardrails while the window to act closes

Summary

Democrats led by Rep. Sam Liccardo, D-Calif., asked House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., to keep the House in session until Congress advances AI safeguards. Johnson is scheduled to send the House home after this week until after November's elections and appeared to rule out quick action. The proposals cited include bills mandating transparency and evaluation of frontier models, kill switch requirements, and a waiver of antitrust laws for safety cooperation.
